BIMMERS & BREWS – Sunken Silo Brew Works – Lebanon, NJ

by

Lebanon, NJ – May 12th – 6 pm

An evening of craft beer, clean builds, and good company at Sunken Silo Brew Works.

We’re kicking off a new kind of chapter event. Bimmers & Brews is a casual, no-pressure car meet at one of Hunterdon County’s best craft breweries. Pull up with your BMW, grab a pint from Sunken Silo’s rotating tap list, and spend the evening walking the lot, swapping stories, and meeting fellow enthusiasts. No agenda. No formalities. Just cars and community.

 

Here’s the best part: Sunken Silo is normally closed on Tuesdays. They’re opening their doors exclusively for the NJ Chapter. That means the taproom, the patio, and the parking lot are all ours for the night.

Social Meet and Greet February 10, 2026

by

Despite the cold, 17 brave souls showed up at St. James Gate Publick House in Maplewood for a Meet and Greet night to talk cars and learn about events planned for the New Jersey Chapter of the BMW Car Club in 2026. The cozy Irish pub, complete with a fireplace and the best fish and chips around has been a mainstay in the town for forty-five years. John Mead, was happy to accomodate the club.

Paul Ning, the Chapter President handed out a calendar of events and answered questions about the club. People could order dinner and drinks on separate tabs.

The best part of the evening was hearing about what cars people had or were restoring or racing. Larry Engel, the North Atlantic Region Vice President, attended and is very passionate about seeing the membership grow. He gave the group more insights into what the club has to offer. The Driver Schools and Autocross events, social gatherings and rallies, as well as monthly meetings and a street survival school for teenagers offer something for everyone.

Six attendees were at a club meeting for the first time, and were all excited about getting more involved. Don’t miss our next two events! On March 9th 7-9pm in Paramus – SIM racing. If you want to see what it feels like racing on a track, this simulation is awesome! No track insurance needed!
On March 19th at 56 Degree Wine in Bernardsville, join other club members for a complimentary wine tasting and charcuterie board as you talk cars. Special pricing on purchases for BMW CCA members. Bring a friend.

Member Meeting Jan 22, 2026

by

On January 22, 2026, the New Jersey BMW CCA welcomed members to Shade Tree Garage for an evening that mixed club news, great conversation, and some genuinely useful technical learning. The meeting opened with Andy Staiano, Vice President of NJ BMW CCA, sharing updates on current club events and upcoming activities. From there, the room quickly turned into what makes the chapter special: each member introduced themselves, swapped stories, and talked about the BMWs they drive (and wrench on), setting a friendly, enthusiast-first tone for the night.

After introductions, Art, owner of Shade Tree Garage, introduced Master Technician Phillip Eng, who delivered an engaging presentation on road force tire balancing—breaking down the “why” behind vibrations and how road force measurement and correction can transform ride quality. Following the talk, Art, Phil, and the Shade Tree service team led everyone on a tour of the shop, giving members a closer look at the equipment, workflow, and the kind of detail that goes into doing the job right.

Phillip Eng walks through wheel-weight fundamentals during the road force balancing presentation.

Social Director’s Update – Fall 2023

Social Events

Social Director’s Update

While enduring a hot few months of record heat, we still had several events planned before the official end of summer with more to come!

At our August chapter meeting, we were treated to a firsthand look at race car driver Tyler Pappa’s E92 M3 which he currently races and recently competed in the Race to the Clouds at Pikes Peak, Colorado. Tyler is the owner of Bimmer Service by TySpeed, a big supporter and sponsor of our chapter. The Deutscher Club of Clark once again graciously hosted our meeting. 

We had a great turnout at the Cars and Coffee in Holmdel on August 27. The weather cooperated, and we saw many happy faces enjoying the reprieve from the recent high temperatures we’ve had all summer. With people coming and going, we had about 200 cars attend. The relaxed atmosphere made for a family friendly affair as we saw many youngsters accompanying their parents. We even had curious non-BMW owners stop by to take a peek and inquire about the event. There was a great mix of young and old car enthusiasts mingling with each other while sharing the passion for BMW. We are certainly looking forward to the next one!

On perhaps one of the rainiest days at summer’s end, we hosted Bimmer Day with Open Road BMW of Edison for a collaborative event which drew quite a crowd despite the weather. The forecast for September 10 did not even deter guests who drove from Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and even the furthest regions of New Jersey like Cape May and Mahwah! Everyone got a little wet, but attendees spent time under the protected facade of the newly built facility of Open Road BMW and mingled. DRIP Coffee Catering was present to serve complimentary coffee and breakfast pastries.

On October 14 and 15, our last track days will be at our Shenandoah Driver School weekend and will be our last HPDE event for the 2023 season, taking place in West Virginia at the Summit Point Raceway. Whether you are a novice or seasoned veteran of the track, sign up to see what the fun is all about!

Here is a listing of the chapter events from August through December 2023:

  • August 24 Chapter Meeting with TySpeed at The Deutscher Club of Clark
  • August 27 Cars & Coffee in Holmdel
  • September 10 Bimmer Day at Open Road BMW in Edison
  • September 14 Chapter Meeting at Circle BMW 
  • September 16 BMW Vehicle Distribution Center tour in Jersey City
  • September 17 Autocross at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater 
  • September 24 Bimtoberfest at BMW of Bridgewater 
  • October 7 Cars & Coffee in Paramus
  • October 8 Autocross at TD Bank Ballpark
  • October 14-15 Summit Point Shenandoah Driver School
  • October 29 Fall Picnic

BMW CCA New Jersey Chapter Quarterly Newsletter

April 2023

Social Director’s Update

Following the great turnout at our events last year, we have plenty of exciting events to look forward to for 2023! Based on recent member feedback, our social programming will now include a greater mix of automotive and social-themed events, some occurring on weekends as requested by those of you with hectic weekday schedules.

Our calendar for this year includes events such as Cars & Coffee, track days and instruction school, autocross, rallies, charity drives, Show & Shine, and a slew of others currently in planning. Keep an eye out for our calendar for new events as the year unfolds. In the works are a movie night, go-karting, and casual dinners. For the enthusiasts curious about the journey a BMW takes from port of entry to dealership, we have been invited to tour the BMW Vehicle Distribution Center (VDC) in Jersey City during the fall. We are also excited to offer the opportunity to attend a one-day M School Day at the BMW Performance Driving School in Greer, SC for a special BMW CCA rate.

We kicked off the spring, our season opening social events at Thumbody coffee for our first Cars & Coffee of 2023! With over two hundred cars in attendance it was a great success. Our next C&C event is expected to be in the mid-summer. Stay tuned for the forthcoming date. Please note that non-members are always welcome to attend our Cars & Coffee, so invite your friends and family!

Our monthly meetings are regularly scheduled events which all members are welcome to attend. Our monthly meetings are typically on a Thursday evening with food and drink provided. So far this year, we have had the pleasure to be hosted by Shade Tree Garage in Morristown who presented on automotive care, and BMW of Bridgewater to see the all-new BMW XM hybrid SUV. 

As always, we appreciate our members! While our commonality is based upon our love of BMWs and individual takes on BMW lifestyles, our goal is to build a thriving community for our members, and that depends on your support. Some of you have reached out to volunteer your time, expertise, and knowledge whether for a committee, an event, or even just part of an event. For that, we are very grateful. The more volunteers we have means that we will be able to plan for larger scale events in the future!

Annual NJ Chapter Pick Your Pumpkin Rally to Benefit NORWESCAP

Annual NJ Chapter Pick Your Pumpkin Rally to Benefit NORWESCAP

Sun, Oct 26, 2025

Come join us for the NJ chapter’s annual Fall Pick Your Pumpkin Rally. Come out and have a great time roaming scenic back roads of New Jersey while cursing the Rallymaster’s ridiculous clues. In what has become a new tradition of the NJ Chapter, the rally is being run as a charity event to benefit NORWESCAP – an organization dedicated to helping low income families in northwest New Jersey through a variety of services including a food bank and nutrition assistance.

Clues and final route are still being finalized so check back here for updates.

For those of you who are new to the rally, the format is that cars are released onto the route at intervals. You are given a list of route instructions and clues/questions to answer along the way. The car with the highest score in each class wins with ties determined by time. Cars with a driver and navigator may enter the Competition Class (counts toward the chapter Driver Champ Series) or the Family Class and cars with 3 or more people are in Family Class. This is all for fun –  we hope to have some prizes that are provided by the club (and maybe a dealer or two) but come out for the drive along roads that you may not have driven before and the chance to get together with fellow club members. This is one of the few club events with driving involved that both children and non-members are welcome.

Starting Point:
Panera Bread – Raritan (in the Staples shopping center off the Somerville Circle)
300 Route 22
Raritan, NJ 08869

Ending Point:

Longhorn Steakhouse
138 Highway 31
Flemington, NJ 08822We are announcing the end point this year so that anyone who can’t do the rally but wants to join us for food and laughs can do so.

Registration on-site opens: 8:30 am
Driver’s meeting: 9:00 am
First car off: about 9:15 am

Cars will be released in order of registration date/time so register early if you want to be among the first cars sent out!

Cost: $25 per car (collected at the event, exact change much appreciated [we collect payment info during registration only in case you are unable to pay at the event]) – larger donations accepted with gratitude- all net proceeds donated to NORWESCAP. There must be one BMW CCA member in the car who is the registrant. Guests are not required to be members.
